I’ve seen the news of Cyrus Jirongo’s passing.
May his soul rest in peace.
As we mourn, history also matters.
And My people,
We can mourn the dead and still respect history.
Jirongo, under the YK92 era, is accused of printing money and misuse of it in the 1990s for campaigning for moi, which is widely blamed for inflation that rose fast & that still scars Kenyan families today. Money was splashed a lot during that time.
Many families then saw prices double & effects are still felt today
This is just a reminder that;
Choices made for power don’t die with the people who made them.
They live on in the price of bread, education, in our taxes, and in our struggles.
So let's mourn, yes.
But learn.
Because memory is not hatred
Memory is accountability.
Rest In Peace.
